Console commands

Hyperspace extends the vanilla FTL debug console with its own set of commands. Any input that does not match a Hyperspace command falls through to the vanilla console, so all vanilla debug commands still work.

Opening the console

The console is a switch in hyperspace.xml, and the shipped file has it on:

<console enabled="true" invertCaps="true"/>

invertCaps, is also on by default in the basemod, swaps the case of typed letters: useful because many command arguments are case-sensitive while the console encourages caps.

Open the console in-game with the console hotkey (\ by default). Press Up while the console is open to recall the previously entered command.

Command names are case-insensitive; arguments (crew names, ship names, event names, blueprint names) are case-sensitive. Every id vanilla FTL ships with is listed on Vanilla ids.

`ACH <achievement>`	Grants the named custom achievement.
`ACH_LOCK <achievement>`	Revokes the named custom achievement.

Player ship

`SWITCH <ship>`	Replaces your ship with the named ship blueprint.
`SWITCHALL <ship>`	Replaces your ship with the named blueprint and transfers over your current crew and equipment.

Systems

Command	Description
`SYS <system>`	Adds the named system to your ship.
`SYS ALL`	Adds every system the ship is missing: all vanilla systems, the temporal system, and all custom systems. Systems that would be replaced by an installed custom system are skipped.
`DAMAGESYS <system>`	Sets the named system’s health to 0 (e.g. `DAMAGESYS shields`).
`REMOVESYS <system>`	Removes the named system from the ship.
`GOD`	Vanilla god mode, extended by Hyperspace to also fill the reactor to the ship’s custom `maxReactorLevel`.

Equipment

Command	Description
`WEAPON <blueprint>`	Adds the weapon with the given blueprint name to your inventory, bypassing slot limits.
`DRONE <blueprint>`	Adds the named drone.
`AUG <blueprint>`	Adds the named augment.
`AUG HIDDEN <blueprint>`	Adds the augment without taking an augment slot. The effect still applies. There is no limit on how many augments you add this way.

Crew

Command	Description
`CREW <race>`	Spawns a crew member of the named race. Race ids are lowercase.
`KILL <name>`	Kills the first player crew member whose name matches exactly.
`SKILL`	Masters all six skills for every player crew member.
`DELETECREW` / `COOLSWORDBRO`	Kills all crew on the currently targeted enemy ship.

The beacon and the map

Command	Description
`EVENT <event>`	Loads the named event at the current beacon. Unique events will not load a second time. Use `LOADEVENT` instead, which has no such limit.
`LOADEVENT <event>`	Immediately loads the named event at the current beacon. Used-event and used-text-list tracking is temporarily suspended, so unique events can be loaded repeatedly for testing.
`LOAD <name> [strength]`	Loads the named enemy ship or event at the current beacon. The number sets the sector strength, for ships only.
`DELETE`	Destroys the enemy ship.
`STORE [sector]`	Opens a store at the current beacon. With no argument, stock and prices match the current sector; with a number, they match that sector level.
`FORCE_STORE <storeId>`	Forces the next store created to use the named custom store definition.
`SECTOR <sector>`	Jumps to the named sector.
`FLEET <value>`	Changes how far the fleet advances on your next jumps. `FLEET -2` holds it still for your next two jumps, `FLEET 2` adds two extra jumps of advance. The fleet itself cannot be moved.
`EXIT`	Opens the star map in next-sector selection mode, skipping the exit beacon.

Variables

Command	Description
`VAR <name> [value]`	Sets the player variable to the given integer. With no value, logs the current value to the Hyperspace log file.
`MVAR <name> [value]`	Sets the metavariable to the given integer. Metavariables keep their value across runs. With no value, logs the current value.

Miscellaneous

Command	Description
`CREDITS` / `VICTORY`	Triggers the victory sequence and credits.
`LUA <code>`	Runs the given string as Lua in the Hyperspace Lua context.
`SPEED <value>`	Sets the game speed level. Independently, the `speed` hotkey toggles fast-forward on and off.
`SQUISHY <text>`	Permanently displays the given text in the top-right corner of the screen.

All executed commands are written to the Hyperspace log file.
